Nope - staggered pistons (larger one on the bottom for a front mounted caliper) keep the pads from tapering when you use them hard. They can lead to slightly reverse taper if you never get on the brakes hard, so don't be with your braking.

Staggered piston sizes are good at the track though, definitely help with pad taper.

This is a question to anyone really.

BACKGROUND: I've done some extensive searching on the parts necessary to do a STI caliper on the rear of an S14 and I'm coming up with some conflicting information.

What I'm running.

-Stock S14 rear knuckle/hub assembly
-STi Rear Calipers
-Z32 DBA one piece slotted rear rotors.
-Hawk rear pads.
-S14 stainless stoptech rear brake lines.

My Question: I've seen on several threads and blogs conflicting information on how to effectively space the rotor to the caliper in order to achieve even placement of the rotor relative to the caliper when installed. I've seen @krinkov report that 3MM is sufficient, and I've seen it reported that 5mm of space is needed also.

Photo of what I'm referring to for reference:


In the picture I have three open ended lug nuts holding the rotor fast to the hub so that this is the position it will be in if I were to install wheels and go drive. Definitely not centered.

See how the caliper is in a fixed position. If you put washers in between the bolts that fix the caliper on to the knuckle, you only push the caliper outwards, and that only magnifies the problem! I am not a fan of offsetting the rotor by putting washers in between the hub and the rotor as this car will be getting tracked quite heavily and I want the rotors flush to the hubs.

I could have the caliper mounting ears turned down the appropriate amount but I don't want to ruin the structural integrity of the piece.

Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated.

Interesting. I will see if I have the same issue on my rears when I get home. I was pretty sure that they were a direct bolt on without any spacing. To my knowledge, mine were perfectly centered.

You could weld a 5mm slip on spacer to the inside of the rotor hub.

IIRC R33:
GTS: 296mm
GTT/GTS-T: 310mm
GTR: 324mm (black brembo)

350Z: 324mm (gold brembo)

Note: R33 had 12mm caliper bolts, while the 350Z has 14mm caliper bolts. I'm guessing that rotors would be interchangeable, but don't quote me on that.

I want to say the early 350Z single pot non-brembos were 310mm but unlikely that if it will work with the R33 GTT/GTS-T calipers. (R33 GTT had 4 pistons, the 350z is a single piston.)
